New FlashMob! Promo Video

Hey all – Check out our new promo video comprised mainly of concert footage from our headlining gig at the Rock Cancer festival in Little Chute, WI last summer: We had a blast at this concert and are so glad that we had some good friends of the band working hard to get this event [...]

You got iced, Joe.

Joining in on the inane Bros Icing Bros phenomenon (mainly because I’ve been iced twice, or “twiced” if you will, by Laura and Collin in the past few weeks), I decided to spread the love and ice Joe at his recent co-ed baby shower.

New promo video added

Here’s a new promo video I put together with footage from our Spring “tour.” Things will be really heating up in the coming weeks with the recording of our new album on Sony BMG, so I wanted to make sure and properly archive video from Spring 2010 before life got ka-razy!

Minneapolis cover band mentioned on Fox 11 – Rock Cancer

Anticipation is rising for Rock Cancer 2010!! This was seriously our favorite gig of 2009, so we are way beyond pumped to be a part of this again. Below is some video of concert promoter Jim Spierings being interviewed last year by Fox11 days before the event. Jim mentions us as The Subsidies, which was the [...]

Utilizing iMovie to promote a Minneapolis cover band

Seriously, how flipping awesome is iMovie?!? I’ve been using the FlipShare software that came with my camera to do all the band videos thus far, and just learned how to use iMovie yesterday. It’s so incredibly intuitive it kind of blows my mind a little. At first, I kept trying to do things the P.C. [...]

Music theory lesson from a Minneapolis cover band

Hey, I just had a thought: what if we changed our name from FlashMob! to “Minneapolis Cover Band.” That way it wouldn’t look like such an obvious attempt at gaining search traffic by me putting “Minneapolis cover band” a million times in each blog post I write. On the other side of the coin though, [...]

Video of our trip down to Austin, Torge’s Live

We packed up the “tour” van and headed down to Austin, MN to play a show at Torge’s last weekend. In case you’re not a Facebook fan of ours and you missed the video, here it is: Also, I kinda tricked out our YouTube channel this week, so check that out too. You can see [...]

Opening ceremonies – 2010 Vancouver Olympics

Tonight, the world will be watching the opening ceremonies of the 2010 winter olympics. It feels like yesterday we witnessed Beijing do their best imitation of Pink Floyd’s The Wall. Not sure about anyone else, but let me say I was more than a little freaked out watching hundreds of Chinese citizens under communist rule move in-synch. The [...]

Video diary of a Minneapolis cover band

How many times can I fit “Minneapolis cover band” in this post? Two too many already? I agree, but our ultimate goal in life is not to be perceived as skilled musicians. Oh no. Rather, we’re looking to dominate the “Minneapolis cover band” search results in Google. Noble? Maybe. Time consuming? Yes. It’s tough being the premier [...]

Cover band / videographers?

A few exciting things in our world…  We just setup our official YouTube channel and posted a new vid of us goofing around in Dinkytown and down at Rookie’s in Rochester, MN before a show: and our gig at Bunker’s Music Bar & Grill downtown Minneapolis is featured in their City Pages ad this week:
